The aftermath of the Fenian St tenement collapse of June 1963. Dublin 1963.

The aftermath of the Fenian Street tenement collapse in Dublin, June 1963. A mobile crane from "GEORGE COHENS" dominates the street, poised beside a chaotic pile of rubble. A portion of the building’s shell remains, exposing interior walls with remnants of wallpaper. Contrasting with the destruction, an adjacent building, housing the "Victuallers COYNE & ..." shop, stands intact. In the foreground, neatly stacked lumber hints at reconstruction as two men in coats observe the scene.
